Pía Mendaro (Madrid, 1991) graduated as an architect at Superior Technical School of Architecture Madrid, ETSAM (2009-2016). She’s currently working freelance and is a member of Endemico, a young architecture studio. She’s impatient with architecture’s timing, hence designing (and self-producing) furniture and studying botany and gardening in the meantime. For the last three years she has completed various refurbishments in Madrid, designed the furniture for a children's library in Monterrey (Mexico), participated as a teacher assistant in studio class (Polytechnic School Madrid), and led the direction (and management) of Barbecho space, focused on useful design (2017-19). At present, Pia has several works and a PhD thesis in progress.
